Stop the system
When you stop the system, you stop the database processes and services. The system aborts and rolls back any active queries, so user queries or tasks such as loads, backups, and others cannot run. Typically, you stop the server when directed to do so as part of a specific administration procedure or when you must perform a major management task. You can use the nzstop command to stop a running system. (You can also use the nzsystem stop command, but nzstop is the recommended method.) Stopping a system stops all Netezza Performance Server host processes.
Restriction: You must run nzstop on
the host and be logged on as the user nz. You cannot run it remotely.
To stop the system, use the nzstop command.
To stop the system or exit after waiting for 5 minutes (300 seconds), enter nzstop -timeout 300.
